Found these delicious treats on Flickr at Marys.. YummY! One of the things about being a total novice in the kitchen is not knowing any of the terms. I just know when this look good and when they taste good! Now I've Learned that a Verrine is " an appetizer or dessert that consists of a number of components layered artfully in a small glass. (The word verrine refers to the glass itself; literally it means "protective glass.") Intriguingly composed, they're a study in textures, flavors, colors and temperatures." found this nifty explanation at Serious Eats.

This awesome find is from Julie at her blog The Frosted Cake n Cookie blog. Julie's blog is FULL of fun stuff. You will find how to's, recipes, info on books and the Cake and Bake Bookstore and so much more. Julie's directions are great, especially for the technically deficient types like myself, where she makes everything look easy. I had so much fun browsing through Julie's blog I had a hard time leaving :-)

Oh what fun! This is a Fancy Nancy Cake from Soad-A-Mae's flickr photostream.

And this adorable baby shower cake is also from Soad-A-Mae's flickr photostream, where you will find ton's more yummy fun and fancy cakes.

This is wonderful and I first found it at PBS Parents website.. where they were inspired by cakes at Cake Wrecks. This Fancy Nancy Inspired Cake was made by prudence, she had made it for her little girls 4th birthday. Prudence has this photo at cakecentral.com at their cake gallery. What a great idea! LOVE IT!

As I was busy "browsing" I came across this fantastic photo of a slice of Key Lime Pie. I found it while spending some time at Sarah's Fab Day blog. Sarah share's all her fave's with us from fashion to food with everything in between. Sarah passed on the "go to" for the recipe at the food network website. Visit Sarah's blog for more fun to have while you eat your pie~

These Fabulous Flower Aprons are from Kate at her Etsy Store Bambinoamore
were they "offer handmade vintage inspired goodies – namely their vintage inspired aprons that have become extremely popular!! Their full-length aprons will help you spice up your kitchen routine and bring out your domestic diva!! When you buy an apron from Bambino you can rest assured that you are receiving a stylish, functional, durable, and 100% ORIGINAL vintage-inspired apron!!"
Bambino has an adorable collection of aprons, which come in a few different styles. There's the Aunt Jessie, the Elegant Eloise, the Edie and the Katiedid. Which are inspired from Bambino's Mom Eloise which features a straight neckline that is classic and chic, and from her Sweetheart Tinkering Aunt Jessie, and Edie the half apron. The aprons come in an assortment of fabrics. You'll find funky, classy, trendy and spunky fabrics to match everyone's moods, and personalities.

These Cupcake Candles are from Candlelynn's Etsy Store where Jana and Allan create and sell their candles. They have a compelling story of how they used their own creativity and developed plans to prosper after the lose of both their jobs through this tough economy. They now have this wonderful Etsy store full of their yummy concoctions.

Had some fun with Flickr and Big Huge Labs.
Just a note about the Pie Sign.. That is from Round America, Bill and Barbara Windsor's brain child, which is "a comprehensive source of vacation and roadtrip information. It's now a directory, a magazine, and a place where travelers can share trip tips" But my favorite part is the PIE REPORT. On their great American Adventure to travel around the country taking pictures, and eating pie they partook of over 147 different pies and ranked them which wouldn't be complete without their Best list. You'll have to go to their website to find out for yourself. But I will tell you that the next time I go to Hobe Sound, Fl I will definitely be stopping atHarry and the Natives!
